We wanted to take this time to thank you for an unbelievable girls' basketball season. Our child Tenaya (age 9) had never played basketball prior to 2015. She learned how to play basketball in two months, and helped her team win 2d place! Prior to her 1st practice, Tenaya was anxious and begging not to play. Now she's eagerly telling her friends how much she loves basketball.

We are so grateful to Hoop ED for creating this girls' league. We saw many of our friends' daughters play and hustle, and it is a joy to see these girls go for it and learn to play, win, lose with grace and sportsmanship.

Somehow magically Brian is able to teach every girl new skills, without singling out or embarrassing any player. He is the embodiment of teaching through affirmation -- both through individual comments and group praise (always appropriate). He not only teaches/coaches basketball skills, he models by example sportsmanship and good play. And somehow in the midst of all this, he models

Just wanted to say that Brian did an awesome job as the referee for the Palasades league this season. Our Capitol Hill 4th grade daughter played organized basketball for the first time and Brian made her experiece really special. I'm sure you know this, but he really has the perfect balance of positive encouragement, humor, and solid "in game" teaching for the girls. You are very lucky to have him in your organization!

"My daughter has attended 3 summers now at the St. John's basketball camp. Every staff member, coach, assistant and helper is top notch! My daughter's skills and confidence grow more in that one week than they do in a season. The camp is for every level, they are inclusive of each and every player. Your child will go away feeling proud!! The spirit, sportsmanship and teamwork is bar none, the best in the business. We feel privileged to be a part of it. Thank you for yet another incredible experience at HoopED! A++++ all around!!!!"

My children attended All Sports & Games Camp @St. Bernadette's while we were in town visiting friends. Here are my thoughts about this great program:
· HoopEd is great program to keep kids active in the summer, especially my daughters who aren’t into sports.
· My kids loved playing all of the “old school” outside games and can’t wait to teach their friends.
· Coach P is fantastic with the kids!
· My kids played so hard that when they came home they were pooped!

Hoop Ed has helped Eli grow as a player- and as a young man. I know he really respects Coach Brian and values his constructive basketball and life advice! He loved being a CIT this past summer.

I just want to thank all of you for running a top notch program! You are all responsive and professional. Many thanks from a grateful parent!

Just wanted to say thank you for making week 1 of winter camp so great at Oyster. My 3 kids had a blast and were never ready to come home after after-care.
Appreciate your dedication to good programing and excellent counselors!
We’ll see you for a future camp!

- Andrea- Mom of 3

I was hopeful you could share with all of your colleagues my feelings of gratitude for HoopEd during the pandemic. There have been so many times that my boys have enjoyed days outside because of you all.
Thank you for all you’ve done to be creative, helpful, and thorough.
All the best, Sarah (mother of 3)

Carter had a GREAT time this summer with Coach Keenan and Tania and the rest of the crew over there. Having Carter attend 1/2 days worked out really well for him this summer. He's had a successful summer and was happy to go EVERY SINGLE DAY! What a blessing for us this summer. It's been so great to see him re-emerge from the isolation of being at home and being scared to go anywhere.
He got great practice making new friends every single week which will go a long way towards making him feel more comfortable and confident as he goes back to in-person school in a brand new place.
